A World Health Organisation (WHO) team investigating the origins of the coronavirus pandemic has visited a provincial disease control centre that had an early hand in managing the outbreak.

The WHO investigators arrived in the Hubei provincial capital, Wuhan, last month to look for clues and have visited hospitals that treated many of the earliest patients and a seafood market where cases of infection with the then-unknown virus emerged in December 2019.
